But we can't move a package from contrib to core if significant parts are written by authors without assigned copyright. As I said, I don’t know what a taskjuggler is, so I don’t know how relevant that consideration is here. > (I do like this system since it allows org-related packages to be > effectively community-maintained, and different people take on their > maintenance at different times, as we see here. Indeed. But it has a risk if contrib is thought of as a staging area. Again, I guess this should be done on a case-by-case basis. > I’d be happy if of the org-related packages on github were migrated to > contrib, so that they don’t bitrot when their original authors move on. I agree with you, but others want to move stuff out of contrib. Rasmus -- m-mm-mmm-mmmm bacon!
